I donโ€™t think ppl understand the whole โ€œwho cares if nobody likes it! make content for yourselfโ€ is extremely dismissive
Bc we ARE making the content for ourselves but it feels /bad/ when people donโ€™t engage or show interest. You can care about both at the same time

Critical Role merch really has nosedived lately. From Beauty of Exandria arriving within 7 days locally to Animal Crossing pixel art arriving in maybe a month after paying a third-party.

Canadaโ€™s response to tighter trade issues and restricted ports of access really is just โ€œfuck it, northwest passage.โ€

The amount of people I have known who try to pass off extensive and expensive training as raw talent and unguided practice is baffling.

There are many โ€˜feralโ€™ talents who are uniquely privileged in that they could afford and focus on professional training in adjacent fields.

The official โ€œresiduumโ€ dice from CR was too expensive for me to justify and not quite what Iโ€™d always pictured. So I went on the hunt and found these sharp-edge resin at a convention.

Working with Canadian Privacy Law gives you a lot of understanding when companies actively choose to violate that for no reason other than they want to.

Thank you for the much appreciated update.

Less appreciative of you using a real name on a social media site in a violation of privacy rather than just responding to a private email.

Classy.

Oh look, two items from a New Zealand company shipped from China and are already on their way.

Yeah, never order from Eldermancy or Ghostfire. Theyโ€™re either shit at shipping management or lying about it.

The wonders of competent kickstarters distribution:
Eldermancy/Ghostfire Gaming- sends invalid tracking, no movement in over a month.

Hitpoint Press- sends tracking, 12 hours later there notice of clearing customs and transit to a Canadian courier.

Sure, customs into Canada is the problem.

Yeah. If thereโ€™s no update I may need to. The issue was that itโ€™s a kickstarter so the funds were months back.

Which is really annoying because Iโ€™ve got kickstarters from earlier

First support contact was after Eldermancy posted an update for USA containers arriving July 21. No mention of Canadian.

No official update since Aug 3. Last contact had a non-answer on Aug 14. Still no valid tracking or info.

Yeah. This was an expensive lesson of who not to deal with in future

Still no movement on the Eldermancy kickstarter book after a month of no valid tracking, no movement, no updates. Last contact with @ghostfiregaming.bsky.social was 8 days ago where they were โ€œwaiting to hear backโ€ for Canadian shipments.

For reference, the invalid tracking was received on July 17

22.08.2025 09:50 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 2    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Sent the request to support and was told an update is being asked after.

Itโ€™s been a month since invalid tracking was sent out. No updates posted or communicated.

Oh the flow on this thing makes me feel properly dramatic. Warlock status achieved.

And into the final blocking to straighten the nearly 9ft shoulder edge.

40+ hours of work, approx 1770 yards of yarn. But ready for autumn when it gets here.

Hi, thank you for the reply. I did that on July 23 and was told โ€œit may still be with customs.โ€ As this was the kickstarter, active updates from Eldermancy did not acknowledge the Canadian orders or provide updates on the Canadian info.

08.08.2025 20:43 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 0    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

I hope so! I was really looking forward to it for a new campaign and started off the PDF. But you know how it is when you need a last minute checkโ€” grab the book.

06.08.2025 22:41 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 1    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Well, live and learn. Never back kickstarters from Eldermancy despite the connection to @ghostfiregaming.bsky.social if thereโ€™s hope of getting a physical item set.

A month of alleged shipping in Canada and no update, movement, or confirmed tracking.

Expensive PDF only at this rate.

A vintage-style drawing of a young tiger wearing an old-fashioned dress and straw hat. She holds a tiger lily in her paws as she smiles, standing in a garden with more tiger lilies and a country style fence behind her.

I do the same! Only they stopped paying OT but let me put the extra hour here and there toward a paid day off to go out and get groceries instead.

Joined a book club. Looking for a tai chi group. Looking into other local groups.

Possibly a dog.
